The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Now, a path that could make her even more "special" is laid out before her, and no matter what lies ahead, she cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

If she misses out, she probably won't be able to sleep well for the rest of her life.

Looking at the two girls' reactions in the rearview mirror, Jiang Hang gave them enough time to think after he had laid his cards on the table.

By noon, Jiang Hang had already driven back to Tokyo despite the wind and snow.

He randomly picked a restaurant, had a meal there, and then took the two girls back to their homes one by one.

Although Yoshino Koharu was full of enthusiasm and said she could go back to work after just a nap, Jiang Hang still gave her a day off.

"There's always work to be done. I've already encountered three cases in just a few days since I left home. I should go back and rest properly first."

There's no need for him to worry about an optimist like Yoshino Kiharu. As the heroine of PA Works' "Girl at Work" series, her self-adjustment ability is on par with that of Aoi Miyamori, who is also a heroine on Shizuka Sakaki's side.

Given some time to relieve stress, they can quickly recover their energy.

Miyamori Aoi is a top-tier company executive who dared to bite the bullet and ask Hideaki Anno, who had been an animator for two or three decades, for help when his own company was short of key animators.

Although they ultimately failed to persuade a bigwig like Hideaki Anno, they did manage to establish a connection with him and, with his help, indeed resolved the company's crisis.

The two female protagonists, Aoi Miyamori and Yuno Kiharu, who look somewhat alike, are the quintessential female leads in morning dramas, and they'll seize any glimmer of hope they have.

Now that Yuno Kiharu is practically glued to the agency, she certainly won't easily change her mind.

However, this approach shouldn't be taken into account for tragic heroines like Shizuka Sakaki.

When Jiang Hang dropped Shizuka Sakaki off at her apartment building, he stayed a while longer before leaving to chat with her and find out about her future plans.

"I remember when you came to the agency, you mentioned your original dream, right? You wanted to make an animation with your friends?"

Sakaki Shizuka nodded somewhat shyly.

Five of their friends from high school formed an anime club and even screened the work at a school festival.

Later, someone gave Jiang Hang that rudimentary animation from back then. Jiang Hang watched the work and even commented on the parts that the girls were responsible for.

It has to be said that, back when she hadn't even entered a voice acting school, although she was already the best voice actress among the five at the time, her voice acting skills back then were quite rough by today's standards.

Jiang Hang didn't mention the production quality of that animation.

After all, they aren't those abnormal geniuses from Sakura-sou who could single-handedly create high-quality animations during high school.

"Among the five of you now, who do you think is the one who is closest to your original dream?"

Faced with Jiang Hang's question, Shizuka Sakaki was a little embarrassed, but still pointed to herself with some trepidation.

Everyone is still in the early stages, but because of Jiang Hang, she and Xiao Lü have benefited a lot.

She now works for a film and television company in Jianghang, and has even done some promotional broadcasts. Even now, many animation studios still invite her to audition.

Xiao Lü, who had only been a freshman in college for a short time, was already spending all her time on the filming set, learning scriptwriting experience from the screenwriters who had decades of experience. She had already written one or two volumes of her detective stories about Jiang Hang.

Those who didn't benefit from Jiang Hangguang's influence could only continue their development in the usual way.

Xiao Kui and Ema work at Musashino Animation, and are currently busy because the animation project has just started.

Misa joined a CG animation production company and is currently learning relevant modeling techniques.

“You know I really like anime. When I taught you voice-changing techniques before, I often used classic anime characters as examples,” Jiang Hang said, mentioning the time he taught Sakaki Shizuka how to change her voice.

Shizuka Sakaki nodded seriously.

She initially wanted to find a place to work and earn a living because the salary at the voice actor training institution was not enough to support herself.

It was because the salaries and benefits in Jianghang were very generous that she reluctantly submitted a resume.

I initially thought it was just a well-paid part-time job, but I never expected to learn such excellent skills here.

It was precisely because she discovered that Jiang Hang was also an anime otaku that she gradually adapted to her work at the agency.

What surprised her even more was that, despite her previously mediocre performance at the voice acting training school, she began to improve at a rate that surprised even herself under Jiang Hang's guidance.

You can master voice-changing techniques in half a month and use them directly after a month.

Now she is confident enough to compete with veteran voice actors in the industry who have ten or twenty years of experience in acting.

It's not about comparing voices, but simply comparing the emotions conveyed in the voices and the acting skills.

After all, if we're really talking about voice-changing skills, her current ability to simulate mechanical and monster sounds with just her mouth without any assistance, and to single-handedly handle the entire sound department's work, is top-notch and shocking in the industry.

It's as if working in Jianghang has boosted her learning efficiency and comprehension.

Chapter 532: Chapter 528: Getting You All Back Together to Make Animation

"Do you think the things I taught you are harder to master, or the things you learned at the voice acting school are harder?" Jiang Hang asked, noticing the thoughtful look on Shizuka Sakaki's face.

When Jiang Hang asked her, Shizuka Sakaki replied almost without hesitation that what Jiang Hang taught her was definitely more advanced, and could even be said to be on a completely different level from what was taught at the voice actor school.

If we're comparing, one is probably still high school material. Mastering all of it will only make things a little easier at the beginning of your voice acting career. After that, you'll have to figure out the rest of the path on your own.

Jiang Hang's material was at least university level. Although it was difficult to master, using the techniques Jiang Hang taught her to solve those so-called difficult problems back at the voice acting school required almost no brainpower. It was a complete crushing victory.

Of course, the difficulty of learning them is on a completely different level.

When Shizuka Sakaki was first being taught by Jiang Hang, she worried more than once about whether she could master the knowledge and whether she would disappoint Jiang Hang.

Then she realized that she seemed to be completely confused. Just by listening to Jiang Hang give her a few lessons, she seemed to have completely understood what he meant.

Thinking about this, Shizuka Sakaki suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

If she had known these things before, she probably wouldn't have thought too much about it; she might have just wondered if she had suddenly become enlightened through Jiang Hang's guidance.

But upon closer reflection, she realized the skills she had acquired over the past six months.

Just as Jiang Hang said, Jiang Hang actually mostly imitated the voices of those anime characters in front of her, and then taught her little by little how to change her own voice.

To be honest, some of the content was actually vocal techniques that she had learned at voice acting school and had practiced many times in private without making any progress.

But right here in Jiang Hang's place, using the advanced techniques he taught her that were even one or two levels more difficult than the techniques she learned at the voice acting school, Shizuka Sakaki felt as if she had never encountered any bottlenecks.

It seems that as long as Jiang Hang says it once and then corrects her a few questions, she can basically master this skill.

As for the things that Jiang Hang hadn't told her to practice more often, it didn't seem to change her mind much, making her any smarter than before. It was as if she had suddenly gone from a luxury sports car to a shared bicycle.

She felt that she had focused all her energy on completing the tasks Jiang Hang had assigned her, which was why she hadn't had the energy to improve her other abilities.

But today in the car, I heard Jiang Hang mention some unknown secrets of this world.

Supernatural powers, artifacts of Eden, gems of immortality, elixirs of rejuvenation, and the magical device Jiang Hang mentioned to them that allows them to experience the memories of legendary assassins throughout history.

At this moment, prompted by Jiang Hang, she seemed to finally realize some problems.

Could it be that the reason her learning ability improved so much under Jiang Hang's tutelage was because Jiang Hang used some special item on her?

Sakaki Shizuka widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Hang in front of her, asking him a question.

"So, it's because of your help, Jiang Hang, that we were able to master these skills so quickly?"

"You have the talent first. What I did was shorten the time it would have taken you years or even longer to realize your talent to just a few months."

Jiang Hang looked at Shizuka Sakaki.

When Jiang Hang unlocked the industry template, he was already able to see the talents of his employees and help them quickly improve their abilities in these areas.

For those employees who typically have only five or six potential points above the intermediate level, and most don't even have a single high-level potential point, Jiang Hang naturally wouldn't give them the fastest promotion speed right away. Usually, a 30-50% bonus would be enough.

At the same time, Akemi Miyano was asked to periodically compile statistics on the work attitude of the employees, and to help those who worked harder to unleash their talents.

Of course, the system didn't give him any attributes like trust or loyalty.

However, when his employees leave the company, Jiang Hang can choose whether to transfer the abilities they gained through the system to himself in the form of skill books.

In fact, if Jiang Hang were a capitalist enough and also had a wicked sense of humor, he could recruit some ambitious and proactive individuals and have them frantically level up his skills. Then, when they choose to leave, he could extract their abilities as compensation.

However, Jiang Hang is not that unethical. As long as his employees do not cause any outrageous incidents, and they have a normal work handover or have found better jobs, he will generally not make things difficult for them.

Besides, given the benefits offered by his company, in a world with a sluggish economy and high crime rates, very few people would actually resign.

As for Shizuka Sakaki, as a main female character in the anime, she has more than fifteen intermediate or higher potentials, five of which are advanced.

This basically exceeds 99% of ordinary people.

Normally, it would take Shizuka Sakaki about three or four years of experience to gradually become a top-tier voice actress before she could realize her potential as a high-level actress.

However, with the added support of Jiang Hang's Level 4 Detective Agency, in just six months, Shizuka Sakaki has already improved her acting skills in all aspects to the intermediate level, and her voice-changing skills alone are already very close to the advanced level.

In addition, she has mastered many detective-related skills in the past six months.

Jiang Hang said this, and then spoke to Shizuka Sakaki.

"I've already told you about the Eden artifacts. Of course, I'm not qualified to know the whereabouts of those things that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the Foundation still has quite a few special items."

"When I came to Japan, I still secretly brought some good stuff over."

Jiang Hang pointed to his eyes.

“I can roughly see a person’s talent, and I can indeed use some items to speed up the process of you realizing your talents.”

"When I was interviewing you, I interviewed about a dozen candidates. The brilliance you and Yuno exuded was the reason I chose you. And in fact, you have not disappointed me in the past six months. You have become a fully qualified detective assistant."

Upon hearing this, Shizuka Sakaki was taken aback.

"My talent?"

She was a little unsure, feeling as if Jiang Hang was trying to comfort her.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your potential already surpasses that of the vast majority of people in this world. Even within our foundation, you are considered a rare talent."

"Otherwise, why would I choose you?"

Hearing this, Shizuka Sakaki felt a little embarrassed.

When she first became Jiang Hang's assistant, she did have some doubts about whether Jiang Hang wanted to do something to her and Yuno.

So Jiang Hang had his eye on my talent from the very beginning?

"It's just that you've been dealing with overly dazzling people all the time in the last six months, which is why you're starting to doubt your own abilities."

Conan, Kaito Kid, Heiji Hattori, the Miyano sisters...

These guys are incredibly talented; Conan has the potential to become the Sherlock Holmes of the new era, and Heiji Hattori will most likely take over his father's position in the police force in the future.

Kaito Kid's father is now considered a legendary assassin of the new era, so his potential as a son is naturally not lacking either.

The Miyano sisters: Shiho Miyano developed Drug A, while Akemi Miyano, though slightly less capable, had previously concealed her abilities to protect her younger sister and had not fully revealed them.
